We are introduced to new characters: Michael Burnham, Mr. Saru, Paul Stamets, Sylvia Tilly, Ash Tyler, Voq, L\u2019Rell, Captain Georgiou, and Captain Lorca to name a few. It takes us places where we have not gone before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cAs the medium of television evolves, it&#8217;s comforting to know that Star Trek is there to evolve right along with it.\u201d<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/critic\/david-sims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Sims<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/source-24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Atlantic<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I would rate the series very highly &#8211; given its stunning visuals, interweaved characters and innumerable twists and turns had me hooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plot\/Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The story revolves around USS Discovery a Starship in Starfleet representing the Federation of Planets and its ideals. Stra Trek Discovery covers the battle between Klingon, their culture of total dominance with the Federation of Planets, and their culture of inclusiveness and ideals. A typical Star Trek story of Good vs Evil right? Not really, it\u2019s more than that and to my surprise even spans multiverse, the first of what we have seen with the franchise so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One aspect that I particularly liked was the surprising twist and turns in the plot; always keeping the viewer intrigued.
